Characterization of a Magdalenian Composite Adhesive Lump From the Ćmielów 95 Site, Poland
A unique, black, plastic object recovered from a Magdalenian dwelling structure at the site of Ćmielów 95 using a multi‐instrumental approach to assess Upper/Late Paleolithic adhesive technology. Multimethodological analyses reveal that the object is a sophisticated, artificially synthesized composite binder comprising an organic matrix and inorganic mineral fillers. The minerals include metallic iron, maghemite, defect olivine, and monticellite—…
Testate amoebae as indicators of critical transitions in historical forest management
Peatlands are susceptible not only to direct disturbance, but also to indirect changes in their surroundings, including land management. Changes in agricultural practices or forest management can significantly influence peatland functioning, for example, their trophic status or surface vegetation. Here, we investigate the effects of planned forestry on two Sphagnum -dominated peatlands in northern Poland’s Tuchola Forest. We use testate amoebae a…
Holocene climate changes reflected in water level fluctuation

With or against the river? Tracing changes and relationships between social and ecological systems on the central Vistula floodplain over the last 200 years
Studying the relationship between humans and their environment is crucial for observing escalating human pressure. This article examines how two distinct rural communities, living side-by-side, coped with environmental crises during the 19th and 20th centuries. Our case study is Kazuń, a 19th-century settlement inhabited by Catholics and Protestants separated only by a lake, an old Vistula riverbed. Our analysis utilizes written archives (includi…
Overcoming the crisis
Addressing multiple perspectives in studying environmental changes in forest landscapes during the modernization period (18th-19th centuries)
Combining different diverse data on human and environmental history during the Anthropocene is an extremely challenging task, particularly, if one wants to compare written or cartographic data with a whole range of environmental data recorded for more than the past 200-300 years. In this article, our objective was to demonstrate that one of the keys to facilitating syntheses for the study of forest landscape dynamics was to conduct a thorough inv…
How degraded are the peatland and forest ecosystems in the Bieszczady Mountains (Central Europe)? An assessment using long‐term records
Peatland and forest ecosystems located in the Bieszczady Mts. (Carpathians, Central Europe) have been affected by human activity since the Neolithic, with this impact intensifying over time. We conducted long‐term studies to: (i) determine past peatland and forest development and current ecological state; (ii) assess the role of different factors that influenced ecosystem development over the last 3750 years; and (iii) determine natural reference…
A novel multiproxy approach to detect the impact of charcoal production on the natural environment in NW Poland – project concept and preliminary results
Agriculture has been the major driver of deforestation in Europe in the last 1000 years. In the past, forests were also exploited for charcoal production; however, the spatial scale/extent of this activity and its impact are unknown. LIDAR data can be used as a noninvasive tool to investigate the small-scale diversity of the land relief, including forested areas. These data can reveal the extent anthropogenic modifications of topography present-d…
Forest ecosystem development in European nemoreal-boreal forest (NE Poland) over the last 2200 years
Long-term ecological studies can provide useful information on forest ecosystem resilience against past climatic change and human caused disturbances. Here, we present a high-resolution 2200-year-long record of forest development in north-eastern Poland, Suwalki region, using paleobotanical proxies (pollen, plant macrofossils, and charcoal). We show that the pollen abundance of deciduous trees was higher than that of coniferous trees, indicating …
Small peatland with a big story
Peatlands are important records of past environmental changes. Based on a multiproxy analysis, the main factors influencing the evolution of a peatland can be divided into autogenic and allogenic. Among the important allogenic factors, apart from climate change, are deforestation and drainage, which are directly associated with human impact. Numerous consequences arise from these processes, the most important of which are physical and chemical de…
Do the relationships between testate amoebae and fungi reflect the variability of past water table fluctuations in the ombrotrophic peatlands of Central Europe
In this article, we examined the indicative value of a relationship between two non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs), fungal HdV-10, related to the presence of Calluna vulgaris, and HdV-31A, which is testate amoeba – Archerella flavum. Both are frequently present on slides designated for pollen analysis, prepared from Sphagnum peat. We analysed three profiles from three extensive ombrotrophic peatlands in northern Poland, in which the content of testat…
Disturbance and resilience of a Sphagnum peatland in western Russia (Western Dvina Lakeland) during the last 300 years
This paper presents the results of multiproxy research (pollen, charcoal, plant macrofossil and testate amoebae) on the biogenic deposits core from Gorodetsky Moch, an ombrotrophic peatland in western Russia (Western Dvina Lakeland). We reconstructed the impact of disturbance on peatland development in the last 300 years by using chronology of the records based on 14 C and 210 Pb data set. The multiproxy reconstruction was compared with changes i…
Abrupt Alnus population decline at the end of the first millennium CE in Europe – The event ecology, possible causes and implications
The study, based on the examination of 70 published and unpublished pollen profiles from Poland and supplementary data from the surrounding regions, shows that an abrupt, episodic Alnus population decline at the end of the first millennium CE was a much more widespread event than has been previously reported, spanning large areas of the temperate and boreal zones in Europe. The data from Poland suggest that the decline was roughly synchronous and…
Early Holocene hydrology and environments of the Ner River (Poland)
The Ner River valley (central Poland) underwent substantial transformation during the Weichselian–Holocene transition as a result of fluvial processes and climate changes, resulting in the establishment of its present shape in the Holocene. A multiproxy study based on organic deposits from a palaeochannel fill (Lutomiersk–Koziówki) shows that after the channel was cut off during the late glacial termination, it became a shallow oxbow, fed by loca…
Natural transformation of the Romoty paleolake (NE Poland) during the Late Glacial and Holocene based on isotopic, pollen, cladoceran and geochemical data
Późnoglacjalne I Holoceńskie Osady Wybranych Torfowisk Dolinnych Regionu Łódzkiego W Nawiązaniu Do Zmian Paleośrodowiskowych
Abstrakt Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań geomorfologicznych, geologicznych oraz paleobotanicznych, przeprowadzonych na czterech torfowiskach dolinnych regionu łódzkiego (Bęczkowice, Kopanicha, Mianów i Wilczków). Są to obiekty funkcjonujące w warunkach niewielkiego wpływu rzek na przebieg procesów torfotwórczych. Misy opisywanych torfowisk powstały w różnym czasie, od przełomu plenivistulianu i późnego vistulianu po początek holocenu. Trwałe zat…
